I was wondering if there are any Kooba owners out there who were diehards from years past who might have any thoughts on the new Kooba collection these days. I looked at Nieman Marcus because of the advertising at the top of this page, and I actually thought that I liked a good majority of what I saw. I haven't seen any in real life, but I was wondering if anyone else out there can say with complete honesty that the leather and hardware compares to the bags of the days gone by. Thanks!!!!
